So, Jed...VW Columbae for #qonos home star? If we stick with #Ty'Gokor for the #Klingons' first out-system conquest, I expect to further amend for that system as well.

@DEWLine that was the best K type star I could find in that location. It's a binary, but a wide one, both orange dwarfs, one of which is apparently an eclipsing variable. So a trinary, probably.

@jswhitten No worries. I think I may have a candidate in Nu-1 Columbae for Ty'Gokor's host star for the project I'm doing with @BadSocialism

And having Klinzhai(?) as a trinary star makes it more interesting, I tend to think!

@jswhitten @BadSocialism Next thought: I'm trying to nail down HIP 12961 AKA #Koeia. It's got one confirmed #exoplanet, it's supposed to be within 10 ly of Tau-3 Eri, and I can't find it.

@jswhitten @BadSocialism Thanks much!

In fact, I see where I made my mistake: confusing Pi-3 with Tau-3. 🤦‍♂️

@DEWLine it's hard to find a specific star without db access. I'll add a search page soon.

@jswhitten Cool. That'll be useful for those who know which system they want to find (neighbours for), whether it has a Trek-specific name or just a catalogue number! 👍 🖖
